I've neglected posting on several rejections. I received mailed forms from both Analog and Highlights this week. Highlights was a little more personal--note at the bottom saying "Thanks for thinking of us" and a reason checked why I didn't make the cut.
Email rejections from Fantasy (form) and Allegory (personal, and very nice, if not very helpful.) Need to update my chart, will do that eventually.
Wrote a new story yesterday, first new one for a while. I hadn't done much since before the wedding, not counting my aborted Nanowrimo attempt, which I don't count since it's not done. Well, it is and it really isn't, both at the same time. I have a beginning, middle, and end, but I need to go though and add sections from a second point of view and fill in a lot of detail and make it better. The biggest problem is I finished it just over 14,000 words in. That's a total Nanowrimo fail, but it is almost three times longer than anything else I've written, so as an exercise it wasn't a total waste of time. And I'll probably go back to it someday. Maybe.
